they could probably kill their own planet due to their gluttony
whatever they digest becomes their building blocks, meaning you could have a nuyon with golden skin, coal skin, wood skin, or anything else
they usually dont care about other nuyons, though if they find someone with experiences either exotic or familiar to them, they may breed
nuyon breeding is a 40-minute process during which both nuyons are vulnerable, they both get a tiny nuyon inside of them afterwards which they feed by eating, similiarly to kangaroos.
a family of nuyons is also called a whole bunch of glompy boys
(sorry if something seems nonsensical, im not that familiar with biology)
Very cool kanye
I’m not sure about the ‘growing to several kilometres’ part…
The concept of the creature is creative, but its nutrient transport system must be incredible for it to even sustain itself. Also with so many glompy boys around perhaps there could be some sort of predatory nuyon that feeds off of other nuyons. Just, ya know, suggestions.
because the digestive fluid is practically digestive fluid and blood in one, so its really just one fluid made by one organ
it doesnt, whatever it eats becomes at least partially its building blocks, so if it for example eats plastic, the skin, protective layer or anything might have plastic parts now
it doesnt breathe, unless im a dummy and thats physically impossible in which case prey has lungs anyways.

Cells need to respire for that sweet, sweet energy.
@blackjacksike is right, blood is made in the bones, and i also think it is recycled there too. Bones have stuff inside them called marrow, in which there are two types, red marrow, which makes blood, and yellow marrow, which stores fat i think.
On an alien planet i wouldnt say it would be impossible to have an organ that pump and produces blood. Our boen marrow doe sit, so an organ doing it isnt far off.
The brain seems useless though, if the cells are as you described essentially a super organism colony like an ant they wouldnt need a brain. Also maybe the cells aren’t actually cells but are small multicellular eusocial organeisms, then the kilometer cell may be actually doable. Ant colonies can be as large as continents so.
I feel that the organism may still need a way to remove waste. For example, if it eats something with some extremely toxic substance, they must discard it instead of letting it hang around (like in cells).
